Sure, Reddit can do what they want with Reddit. That’s their right. And Reddit users (or a subset of Reddit users) can complain when Reddit makes product changes that they don’t like. That’s also their right. In this case, people find it fr

Even if it was a threat, I don’t see why that’s a problem. Reddit is a multibillion dollar business. At that scale businesses routinely threaten each other - I.e., “If you sue us over patent A we will sue you over patents B, C, and D”. Apol

That's by far the best Reddit alternative I've seen. Still, I feel that "no images just text" and "invite only" (although I 100% respect the rationale for both) make this a non-starter for any sort of mass-migr

I haven’t seen a compelling OS alternative to Reddit yet. The ones I’ve seen have all either been big on decentralization at the expense of long load times and a lot of UI complexity, or big on 4chan-style dialogue with little moderation. N

"Brigaded" usually means (in an online context) a coordinated attack from an outside source. I don't think there's any evidence of that - just sounds like a bunch of independent commenters who like the Apple or VR (both

Most VR headsets have your eyes focused at infinity, so that’s usually not a problem.

"Microwave" is a big range, from 1 to 1000 GHz. Satellite TV is in the ~10-20 GHz range, but I believe there are frequencies where clouds and rain are more transparent. Edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micr

Does anybody do this at scale though? Also vapor smoothing can mess with your tolerances (I.e., small edges will unevenly “pull back”, making split enclosures no longer mate properly), so I’m not sure it’s a great idea for enclosure parts.

Either one of those would be a notable accomplishment on its own for a medium size codebase. I don’t feel that there would be reason to believe that both of those would be true here.

Also, I’m not sure that most websites are about delivering and exploring content. I think most websites are fundamentally about either delivering ads or selling you stuff. “Delivering ads” usually requires JavaScript, and “Selling stuff” ca

I mean, it’s a bit like if I reported “Next-gen Tesla could reach speeds as high as 671 million miles per hour”. But in both cases the reality will fall so far short of the maximum that the maximum’s value is essentially irrelevant.

I don’t think that allegory works. That open source stack wasn’t built for the startup. Rather, the startup had a pick of hundreds of open source options and chose the one that worked best. Because there’s no collaboration or relationship
